功能分化视野下立法与司法的关系
The Relationship between Legislation and Judiciary from the Perspective of Functional Differentiation

传统法理学将立法视为法律运作的龙头环节，强调司法对立法的服从。这种法律系统内部的等级分化理论带来了如司法者解释法律的界限等经典难题。系统论法学基于功能分化理论，抛弃立法高于司法的等级式关系理解，转以中心/边缘式的角度，观察立法和司法在法律系统中的定位、运作方式和相互之间的关系，解释其如何满足法律系统运转的需要，主张立法与司法实质上形成了紧密结合、互为条件的关系，且必须经由司法来实现法律系统稳定规范性预期的功能。
Traditional jurisprudence views legislation as the leading link in legal operations and emphasizes the subordination of the judiciary to legislation. This hierarchical theory within the legal system has led to classic issues such as the limits of judicial interpretation of the law. Systems theory jurisprudence, based on functional differentiation theory, abandons the hierarchical understanding of legislation being superior to the judiciary and instead adopts a central/peripheral perspective to observe the positioning, operation methods, and relationships between legislation and judiciary within the legal system. It explains how they meet the needs of the legal system’s operation, and argues that legislation and judiciary are fundamentally intertwined and mutually conditional, and that the stability and normative expectations of the legal system must be achieved through the judiciary.
